* Download the files in the [https://github.com/smealum/ctrulib/archive/master.zip ctrulib repository] (even though the library has already been installed) because the repository contains a 3DS project template and examples.
* On Linux/Mac cd into your devkitPro folder and execute:
  −
git clone https://github.com/smealum/ctrulib
  −
* If you're on Windows you can download ctrulib as a [https://github.com/smealum/ctrulib/archive/master.zip zip] and extract it into your devkitPro folder.
